I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at DICK'S Sporting Goods (Tempe, AZ) in Jan 2014
Interview
I applied online on December 2013 and I got a call from them a month later asking if I was available for an interview. I accepted it and they gave me the choice on which day and time was best for me. So when I got to the interview with the store manager. he asked me questions from this typed-up generic packet that he had (I guess they use that for all interviews). The vast majority of the questions were related to experience with customer service, cashiering, and interest and playing in sports. After the interview, he said that I would get a call the next day if I am a "good fit", but I had to do an 25 minute (80 question) online "personality" survey with was very easy that did not reflected on your 1:1 interview.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at DICK'S Sporting Goods (Chicago, IL) in Sep 2013
Interview
I applied online and was asked to come in for an interview the next week. They were misleading about giving me a job. When I applied I was in the middle of holiday season, which if your religion requires you to take lots of days off at random times of the year I don't recommend applying when you need to take off more time than usual. A week after the interview, after sending thank you notes and following up, I got an email saying that I did not get the job, but that they would keep my application on file.
